Serene Setting.

The house was great and the setting was beautiful. The house was clean and very well appointed.....All the furniture and beds were very comfortable and nice looking. The fireplace was an added bonus and worked beautifully. I would definitely rent this property again.

Perfect place - beautiful views

Needed a place close to downtown for our family. We were in town for a family wedding. Wonderfall Cottage was perfect. Morning coffee at the waterfall watching the sun come up over the mountain was so beautiful. Communication with property manager and maintenance guy was easy and timely. The lavender pillow spray was a nice added touch. The town of Highland and Wonderfall Cottage are definitely a hidden gems. Thank you letting us stay.

One hiccup, otherwise a nice stay

PROS: 1) The view from the front porch is beautiful. 2) The waterfall is lovely to listen to from the screened-in porch and master bedroom. 3) The kitchen is nicely updated and well equipped. 4) The house lay-out is nice for a family. It has two bedrooms on one side of the living space and the master on the opposite side. CONS: 1) There is no cell service from this house. My husband and I have two different carriers - Verizon and AT&T and we had no bars with either. For some this might be a positive. 2) The water heater went out overnight and I called the maintenance person listed on the materials we were provided upon check-in. He said he would be out early to mid afternoon. He never showed. After a second call he came midday the following day. Not a huge inconvenience, but we did not get to shower before heading into town for dinner or the following morning. 3) The guest house is tiny and smells moldy. We had contemplated inviting another couple to join us, but glad we did not.

Stunning views and property

We spent a girls weekend at this cottage and enjoyed it immensely. The location is quiet and beautiful, yet a close enough drive to downtown Highlands. The home was beautifully maintained and well stocked with everything we needed.

We had a wonderful girls trip, all thanks to this lovely property. It was exactly as described, beautiful views and the waterfall just steps away was very soothing and could even be heard inside. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave!

Suggestions for additional items needed: * A rubber spatula for mixing * A few more bowls for mixing/food prep. This home is the perfect place to get away. The house/property was amazing. All of our expectations were met,,, and more!! Its very easy to access, close to downtown and easy to find. I would be very proud to own this little gem in the mountains. I WILL stay at this mountain retreat again! Everyone I spoke to was super friendly, helpful and anxious to help and assist. I was very impressed with the entire operation of your office.

It is a nice house.

It is a nice house. Access road is a bit hairy. Address not displayed on road. And no hangers. Alarm went off twice in the middle of the night and we had no idea how to shut it off.
